A New York Times bestseller! The untold story of the eccentric Wall Street tycoon and the circle of scientific geniuses who helped build the atomic bomb and defeat the Nazis—changing the course of history. Legendary financier, philanthropist, and society figure Alfred Lee Loomis gathered the most visionary scientific minds of the twentieth century—Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, and others—at his state-of-the-art laboratory in Tuxedo Park, New York, in the late 1930s. He established a top-secret defense laboratory at MIT and personally bankrolled pioneering research into new, high-powered radar detection systems that helped defeat the German Air Force and U-boats. With Ernest Lawrence, the Nobel Prize–winning physicist, he pushed Franklin Delano Roosevelt to fund research in nuclear fission, which led to the development of the atomic bomb. Jennet Conant, the granddaughter of James Bryant Conant, one of the leading scientific advisers of World War II, enjoyed unprecedented access to Loomis’ papers, as well as to people intimately involved in his life and work. She pierces through Loomis’ obsessive secrecy and illuminates his role in assuring the Allied victory.

This rich, anecdotal history of the unique community of Tuxedo Park in New York's Hudson Valley captures its special flavor with just the right mixture of detailed history & charming lore. Pierre Lorillard founded this sporting preserve for the social elite of New York City in 1886. The handiwork of 1,300 European workers created a Tuxedo Park that looms large in the social annals of the decades. Albert Winslow, who came to Tuxedo in 1914, weaves a tapestry of sports, architecture, local custom & personality. Notables such as Mark Twain, Emily Post, Averell Harriman, Harry S. Truman, Babe Ruth & others travel through the streets. A bygone era of style & grace is celebrated & captured in this fully illustrated, beautifully designed volume. View glittering social functions (where in fact the "tuxedo" was first named), sporting events, from golf, court tennis, riding & hunting to boating & architectural landmarks. Many of the grand houses & gardens were designed by such renowned talents as McKim Mead & White, Bruce Price & Whitney Warren. To order write the Tuxedo Historical Society, Tuxedo Park, NY 10987.

Wall Street titans, robber barons and scions of blue-blooded colonial families made Tuxedo Park synonymous with upper-class living in the first three decades of the 20th century. This gated Hudson Valley community only forty miles north of Manhattan is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in recognition of its distinctive Gilded Age mansions designed by well-known architects. Normally not accessible to the public, now, through 230 commissioned color photographs and fifty vintage postcards presented in a beautifully designed ¿coffee table¿ cloth edition, the natural beauty of Tuxedo Park, bejeweled by historic houses sited to take brilliant advantage of the mountainous terrain and splendid views of three lakes, and its rich social and architectural history, is available for the first time for all to share.

Pierre Lorillard was a member of the well-known wealthy family who made a fortune in the tobacco business in the 18th century. Tuxedo Park was a planned recreational community created by Pierre Lorillard III approximately 38 miles north of New York City in 1886. This very private community was populated by the wealthy and social set of the Gilded Age. The jacket named the "Tuxedo" originated at The Tuxedo Club. What started as a private hunting and recreational preserve with a clubhouse and wood cottages morphed into a gated, fenced with barbed wire, exclusive colony of grand estates for the rich and social elite. It was another place to play between their mansions in New York, summers in Newport and winter months in Palm Beach. Security and privacy together with money and social status were the cornerstones of this gated and fenced community. Originally, a retreat for the spring and fall months with a New Year's tradition, Tuxedo Park soon became a year-round residence for bankers, financial leaders, and captains of the industry during the Gilded Age and their families from the 1880's through the depression. This presentation touches on just one of those families and life in the early decades of the 20th century. While the country watched and read about this small community and their aristocratic lifestyle, they also learned the residents behind the iron gates were suffering the same insecurities of many others in the country due to the industrialization and population growth that spread from the great cities of the new growing America.
